public interface ClockTime
extends TemporalPosition

A data type that shall be used to identify a temporal position within a day. Because temporal position cannot by itself completely identify a single temporal position; it shall be used with calendar date for that purpose. It may be also used to identify the time of occurrence of an event that recurs every day.
